COLD OPEN | Elmo asks a firetruck what a tricycle and a firetruck have in common. They both have wheels, which is today's theme. |
   |
SCENE 1 | Luis welcomes the viewer on a nice sunny day, where lots of people are riding their bikes on the street. This includes Bert and Ernie, who stop by the bike shop. Luis takes a look at Bert's bike and notices he still has his training wheels on. Ernie thinks he should get rid of them, but Bert wants to keep them. "That's How I Roll," he sings as he imagines himself riding through the park. The duo get ready to ride off, when Bert's bike tips over. They inspect and find one of the training wheels has broken off. Luis isn't sure he can fix it, but goes into the shop to try anyway. Bert decides to wait behind while Ernie rides off. |

SCENE 1 cont'd | Bert waits and waits for Luis to emerge, but with no luck. Ernie returns with some clown accouterments, having just visited a nearby circus, with trained pigeons! Bert wants to go, but can't without his bike. Later, Ernie returns from a luau in the park, complete with paperclip leis. Luis exits the shop, explaining to Bert he couldn't find a part to fix his bike and the special order replacement wheel won't come today. Bert is upset over the exciting things he's missing out on, but Luis and Ernie convince him to give riding his bike, sans training wheels, a try. In a montage, Luis and Ernie sing a reprise of Bert's song as he tries riding down Sesame Street on his own. After falling down several times, he's able to zoom down the street on his own! |
